The good death
The good death -Terrorism is a highly effective tool in getting worldly attention but if we increase the punishments we can then decrease the amount of terrorism. In order to stop terrorism we need to understand what terrorism is. “Terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence against persons or property to further political or social objectives (The Vice President’s Task Force on Combating Terrorism, pg. 17).” Terrorist can use many different approaches.
